New genetic evidence of Killer Whales attacking White Sharks in Australia, selectively targeting their livers, suggests this behavior is more widespread than previously thought: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... @bellareeves.bsky.social et al. #killerwhales #orcas #sharks
Genetic Evidence of Killer Whale Predation on White Sharks in Australia
Using a combination of wildlife forensics and citizen science, we provide the first evidence of killer whale predation on Australian white sharks, targeting the liver. This is the first time a predat...
